RWC - Rout & Return Wet SealGENERAL INFORMATION

The information in this manual has been prepared to assist the designerand installer with the proper application of Armetco’s RWC4 ACM WetSeal System. Since each project is unique, the information is intendedto be used as a guideline and in no way ensures proper application ofACM Wet Seal System panels.

ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL

Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is the material of choicewhen panel flatness and a high performance finish are a must.Made from two sheets of aluminum bonded to a thermoplastic core,ACM is strong yet lightweight and, with the right product knowledgeand equipment, can be fabricated into panel systems that willaccommodate most of your cladding needs.

Armetco Systems offers a complete line of ACM products, systemsand services. With multiple attachment systems and access to all ofthe major Aluminum Composite Material manufacturers, Armetcohas an ACM solution for all applications.

Armetco’s RWC4 rout and return system is a wet seal ACM wallcladding system. The perimeter of the panel is routed and folded toform a 1” return leg. The corners are sealed and reinforced withcorner plates. Extruded aluminum stiffeners are applied withstructural adhesive on panels over 20 sf. Factory applied .080aluminum attachment clips are applied with modified truss screwsin a staggered application. Panels shall attach to 18 gauge (min.)subgirts or hat channel at 16” o.c.

Every project is shipped complete with installation drawings,installation instructions, detailed material lists, approved fabricationtickets, and clearly marked crates and panels.

PROPER STORAGE

If panels are not to be used immediately, they should be stored inan area that is out of the way and suitable for storage until readyfor installation. Continual moving of crates and / or panels willcause damage to panels. Panels intended for exterior use can bestored outside. Store crates on a solid surface. Keep the material offthe ground and Do NOT store crates on surfaces that are subject tomud or in drainage areas where water can reach panels. If cratesare wrapped in plastic, cut several large slits on the sides to allowventilation and reduce condensation. It is the responsibility of thecontractor / panel erector to insure that panels are properly storedat the jobsite.

PROPER UNLOADING & HANDLING

1. Inspect crates immediately for damage. Notify driver of anyvisible damage and record damage on driver’s copy ofshipping bill.

2. Inspect contents of crates within 24 hours of delivery3. Panel crates must be lifted from the bottom skid.4. For hoisting, use proper lifting straps that have been inspected

and are in good condition. DO NOT USE CABLE OR ROPE.5. Place panels in area that they can be stored safely until ready

for installation. Do not move crates and / or panels any morethan absolutely necessary. This will cause damage to panels.

6. Handle panels with multiple faces by lifting and / or supportingpanel’s at all or at least two faces. Failure to do this can causedamage to corner clips and supports and may cause the facesheet to split.

INSTALLATION

1. Install panels per Armetco installation instructions andapproved shop drawings. Refer to page 18 for installationillustrations.

2. If field verification of dimensions is required, record actual fielddimensions on 1 set of shop drawings and return to Armetcoengineering.

3. Review and approve Armetco fabrication drawings as required.4. Check support framing to be sure area to receive panels is

installed straight, plumb and in plane.5. Inspect waterproofing membrane for proper installation and

for rips or tears. If waterproofing membrane is not installedproperly and in good condition, make necessary repairs ornotify contractor immediately. DO NOT PROCEED withpanel installation until waterproofing membrane is inacceptable condition.

6. Install panels true, plumb, level and spaced properly (Seeillustration on page 18).

3. The second panel (B) is installed on thepins of the adjacent panel in the desireddirection using 1/2” shims between thepanels to insure a consistent joint. Shim asrequired to keep panels level and plumb.

4. Working vertically, the next panel(C) is set on the lower panelusing 1⁄2˝ shims to insure aconsistent joint. Make sure toalign the panel with the lowerpanels, level & plumb as you go.

5. The next panel (D) is set onthe male leg of the lowerpanel using 1⁄2˝ shims toinsure a consistent joint.Make sure to align with thepanels already hung. Leveland plumb as you go.

7. When you have the plastic removed,install the backer rod in the joints asshown. for a 1⁄2˝ joint you will want touse a 7⁄8˝ backer rod. The backer needsto be a maximum of 3⁄8˝ deep into thejoint. You are then ready to startcaulking for the optimum expansion itis suggested that a 2 to 1 ratio (widthto depth) is used.

8. When caulking to masonry or a porousmaterial it may be necessary to tape theedge of the joint to keep the caulk offthe adjacent material. A silicone sealantcan be very hard to clean off masonry.When it is time to tool the caulk, a toolwith a convex edge is recommended tokeep the caulk within the joint. Toolingshould be done with one pass with lightpressure. This can be one of the mostimportant jobs. Take your time.
